New York State is tough on Drug Crimes

New York State has a history of the toughest drug laws in the United States. Recent revisions to the New York Penal Law have lowered mandatory minimums and allowed sentencing judges greater discretion. In many cases drug treatment programs, probation or conditional sentences are options. You need an experienced lawyer’s advice to guide you to the best possible outcome.

New York State Drug Laws

For years, New York drug laws were the strictest in the entire country. Recent revisions have allowed for some individuals to avoid lengthy prison sentences and criminal records by entering into treatment programs. These programs, however, are not automatic, and you need an attorney who knows how to work with the court and prosecutor for the best possible outcome. More information relevant to your particular case is available below.

We strive to protect our clients by creating effective strategic defenses for clients charged with the sale or possession of Drugs:

Often times a New York drug arrest for drug possession or sale can be compounded with additional charges, including:

Federal Drug Laws

Facing any federal charge can feel overwhelming, but federal drug laws present an additional set of challenges. Federal charges carry heavy penalties for even first offenses, and repeat offenders can quickly face life in prison. Often times an individual charged with a federal drug crime is alleged to be part of a larger conspiracy which drastically increases individuals’ potential sentence. Keep reading for more information relevant to your particular case.

Drug laws are extremely complex. Penalties are generally based upon the type and quantify of the substance involved. Clients need to understand that when it comes to drug crimes the deck is strongly stacked against them.

Prosecutors use conspiracy laws to expand and broaden the scope of a client’s exposure for the purpose of getting the client to simply give up and plead guilty. We will never let that happen. Rather, we will aggressively defend your rights, investigate your case, and make sure that every possible avenue is explored to help you beat or lessen the impact of the charges.

Federal Drug Crimes

Federal drug charges often carry severe mandatory sentences with few ways out. When facing a federal drug sentence your options are usually limited and are forced to make a quick decision that will have a dramatic impact on the rest of your life. It is necessary to have a lawyer with years of experience handling federal drug cases to give you the best possible advice.

There are a number of factors that can drastically increase your sentence, including:

If a firearm was used in connection with dealing drugs

If you have been previously convicted of a felony

If you dealt or manufactured near a school

If death or injury resulted from the drug usage

If you distributed drugs to a person under 21

If you used a person under 18 to assist you in dealing drugs

Testimonials

Great lawyers! They are very informative, helpful and making you understand what's going on, great people!
I thank them for all they did for me and my family.

James Regnier

Fortunately, not all cases have to go to trial. Our experience and ability enables many cases to be settled out of court. But when a trial is necessary, our in-house trial attorney provides insight into trial psychology and jury selection. Our appellate attorneys also stay one step ahead by preparing clients' cases for appeal before an appeal is filed.
